This invention is an improvement in hangers for mirrors, pictures, and the 1ike,f and more particularly in hangers for use* with ornamental devices suchfas rosettesand'tas- 5,sels. y 1 ,I fi i The usualconstruction of hangers of lthis type is connected to one end of a cord of an ornamental character, the other end ofwhich is connected to the mirror or the other ar-v ticle to be hung, 4 Thehanger itself is co'n-l cealed by a rosette havingA a depending' tas# sel, and thejhanger isy usually-arranged vto engage either a picture molding or anail;

In one type of suoli' hangers, theghanger proper is in two parts, one carrying a hook for engaging a picture'molding,. and Vthel other means, usually in the form of van eyeletfor engaging anail. The hook carrying part is sometimes made detachable, so that it may be discarded when a nail.'v is Vuseduas the support. A v j y v In all characters of this hanger however,

i the hanger is usually afrigidbar, andl nonconformable to n different thicknesses :and

shapes of picturemolding,andone of the principal objects Vof the present invention .is the provision of ya two part hanger, wherein thel picture molding'engaging part is detachable, and is so connected tjo the other part that the hanger, as a whole may conform to different sizes of picture molding', to permit the rosette to set parallel with the wall, and with the tassel depending straight therefrom. The hangers proper is usually connected to the rosette by means of a screw or the like engaging the wooden foundation of the rosette, and the rosette must be in a finished condition, before the hanger can be attached. Another object of the present invention is 40 the provision of a hanger, carrying a fiexible foundation, which may be sewed orv other wise secured to the exible parts of the rosette, and without connection to the `foundation. i

To the accomplishment of the vrforegoing andV such other objects as may hereinafter appear, the invention consists in the construction and novel combination of parts fully described hereinafter, illustrated in the accompanying drawings, and pointed out V in the claims appended hereto, it Vbeing understood that various changes in the form, proportion, size'andv minor` details of con# struction within the scope of the claims, may

be resorted to without departing from the spirit of the invention.

The part'Q'has av keyhole slot ,6 intermediate Vitsends, andV at itslower yend is hooked as shown a'tYfora purpose to be described. The keyholeslot 6 is inverted, and is adapted to engage a nail when the hanger is supported in this manner.l The large portionof the slot permitsthe passage of the nailhead, and the restricted portion receives the shank, thus preventing disengagement of the hanger. i

The portion 2 of the hanger has Yalso a longitudinally extending slot 8, between thek Vp artlloar, composed of sheet metal orl the like, including-gan upper hooked part 1, vfor en- Theparts are hinged together, by means of'a pintle'pin 3 of angular formation,

keyhole slot and the bearings, for receiving the prongs of an ordinary paper fastener' 9, by means of which the hanger is connected to a diskl() ofrflexible material., such for in stance as buckram lor leather. The disk 10 is about the diameter of the foundation off the rosette, the said foundation being-usually a buttonk of fibrous materials, usually wood. 'Y

After the hanger is completed, including the attachment of the disk 10, it is connected 'I tion l and 2 is transverse, that is itis inthe plane or the rosette. `This arrangement permits the rosette t'as'sel'iand associated 'parts to hang straight regardless of the position or the hook. Y p Y In using With a.nail,*screW or the like, the hook l is detached by pulling vout the pintle,

and both hook and pintle may be 'thrown away; Thedisk 10 provides an easy method of connecting the hanger bar'vvith a rosette regardless or the character yof the rosette foundation, and regardless of Whether or not the Vrosette has a foundation. l
